Fit - N - bag

ABSTRACT

The Fit-N-Bag is a stretchable, multi-sized, reusable, top secured form fitting receptacle liner for holding bags and/or contents. The content weight will determine the descent and ascent feature of the liner, resulting in improved accessibility to bags and/or contents.

Fit-N-Bag is a reusable, top secured, form fitting liner for receptacles which can accommodate bags and/or contents

The Fit-N-Bag may be made of a stretchable material ie:Spandex with an elastic band at the top portion of the liner to secure liner to receptacle.

The stretchable quality of the material used and the content weight will determine the extent of the liner descent and ascent.

A sample production process is provided in the Detailed Description Of The Invention section.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

FIG. 1 Depicts an In Use View of the Fit-N-Bag liner inside a receptacle. It is form fitting and secured at the top with the elastic band. The broken lines indicate the liner height when inserted. The content weight will then determine its descent.

FIG. 2 Depicts the Exterior View of the Fit-N-Bag liner showing the 1¼ inch width Casing and the (¾) inch width elastic band.

FIG. 3 Depicts the left side interior contrasted with the right side exterior in a Sectional View. The arrow paths indicate the (1) inch fold with the vertical and horizontal sewing machine double line along each fold sewn from the interior.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The Fit-N-Bag liner may be made by using a stretchable fabric such as Spandex and a top fitting elastic band (¾) inch width. The size of the fabric and the length of the elastic band will vary according to the size of the receptacle.

EXAMPLE

28 Quart Basket

Items Needed

(A) 28 Quart Basket (Source—Housewares store)

(B) Elastic Band—33 inch length×¾ inch width (Source—Fabrics store)

(C) Spandex—35 inches length×15 inches height

(D) 100% Polyester Sewing Thread—(1) spool

(E) Sewing machine

(F) Sewing Needle—Ball Point For Knits #90/14

Production Process:

(A) Elastic Band Casing

-   -   (1) On top portion of Spandex make a 1¼ inch fold and         horizontally Sewing Machine a double line to form a secure         casing for the elastic band.     -   (2) Insert elastic band into the casing and secure it by         Vertically stitching a double line at both ends of casing.

(B) Stitching

-   -   (1) Vertical         -   Make (1) inch folds at both ends of Spandex and unite liner             ends by Sewing Machine a double line.     -   (2) Horizontal         -   Make (1) inch folds at Spandex base and unite bottom by             Sewing Machine a double line.

(C) How to use:

-   -   -   Insert Fit-N-Bag liner into receptacle and fold elastic band             over top of receptacle to secure the liner.

Fit-N-Bag is ready for use by inserting bag and/or contents. 

1. Improved accessibility to bags and/or contents as a result of liner descent/ascent feature
 2. Minimized back bending on users part resulting in fewer back strains.
 3. The Fit-N-Bag liner will take the shape of any receptacle as it is form fitting.
